Capcom announces next-gen Strider

Capcom has announced a new side-scrolling Strider at San Diego Comic-Con for Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.

Capcom has announced a new entry in the Strider series at San Diego Comic-Con, bringing Strider Hiryu into the next generation. Developer Double Helix (Killer Instinct, Front Mission Evolved) is helming this 2.5D side-scrolling "Metroidvania" title. A brief teaser was shown off, displaying some of Strider Hiryu's abilities, like bullet reflection and sword skills.

Strider is set to come to Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3, and PC in early 2014.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what is video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
